To hot, I7-3930k

[Wisse]

So yesterday i bought and installed a corsair h110i water cooler on my i7-3930k
in installed it with the manual that came with it i hooked up all the fans and the pump and the corsair link system.
I boot up my pc and all seems working but my tems when the system is idle are around 50/60c
i think that is way to hot for a 2 fan powered AIO cooler.

Note"my fans are set to a fixed rpm of 1800 and its pretty loud..

How high were your temperatures before the watercooler? How high are they under load now?

Is your pump working? Does the waterblock get warm to the touch? Does the radiator get warm?

under load its about 65/68 depending onm the game and the block on the cpu is ''normal'' feeling,

i had these same temps with my h60 thats why i bought this one..

I wonder if your motherboard might not be slowing down or turning off your pump when your CPU is at idle.

Regardless, 68c is not remotely close to a dangerous load temperature, and 50c, while high for idle, is also not going to hurt anything. I'd return the cooler and keep using your H60, and maybe check the fan speed profile for the fan header you have your pump plugged into.

EDIT: Better still would be an air cooler. I really dislike AiO liquid coolers, because they tend to be more noisy and perform worse than similarly priced air coolers, nevermind pump reliability and the risk of leaks.

This seems strange. I have the same cooler on a 6800k clocked to 4.4 ghz, with idle temps in the high 20's to low 30's and load temps in the mid 60's, i'd suggest you download the corsair link software to set your pump speed to maximum. It helps alot and doesn't make noise. Maybe try reinstalling the heatspreader.
